Every city needs bike lanes. But more importantly, every city needs mass transit. Cars are old transportation.
Yay!
Lovely photos too!
Great work Raffi!!!
The world needs forward thinking people like you.
Thanks for doing this in Armenia and hope there may be more to come.
Harry, I’ve got to ride it!!
Thank you Harry.
However, I didn’t build the bike lane, I just reported on it. Still, I appreciate your readership and support!
Great initiative. We look forward to more neighborhoods following the example. Also, clutter, trash and plastic waste is absent from this picture, which cannot be said for some other streets in Yerevan. Hopefully the bike lanes will bring some law and order to the streets too, along with mobility and transportation.
People in Armenia have many problems that need to be addressed. Bike lanes is not something majority of people care about. This is ridiculous.
One step at a time! Rome was not built in one day.
Absolutely wonderful and necessary across the entire city. Thank you for this great report Raffi!
